Maltipoo Makeup Look: Pantone Smokey eyes

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I made one of these looks, but I recently bought this book called Express Makeup by Rae Morris, and was inspired by one of the looks to create this smokey eye. I thought this look would be crazy dramatic, but once I applied it, I was surprised to find that it is completely wearable! The famous Pantone-like orange color really softens the look. This is a great evening look that even I would wear (and I'm the queen of the super natural, almost no-makeup look haha). Here are the pics:

(this last one has a computer brightening effect)

Here's how to get the look:

1.Apply an eye primer (I used UDPP)

2. On the bottom lashline, lightly apply a medium-dark brown eyeliner, and go over the liner with a bright orange shadow. (this doesn't have to be neat-we're going to go over it with black in a minute)

3. Go in all over the lid with a deep black shadow, and blend the color to the very outer crease as well (not the whole crease).

4. Blend the bright orange shadow into the crease and a little closer to the browbone (there should be an orange rim around the black on the lid.

5. Place a dot of highlight shadow on the browbone so the orange doesn't reach all the way up to the brows, and also in the tearduct.

6. On the lower lashline, draw a thick line with a black shadow. (line all the way in)

7. With the orange shadow on a liner brush, blend the orange just below the black so that it fades naturally. The orange shade should now make a complete ring around the black.

8. Apply tons of deep black mascara.

That's it! It's pretty simple-the key is really just to blend, blend, blend. Hope you like it! I have another more springy look in mind that I'll post soon. Talk to you then!
